Plot
Radhika' (Sonia Agarwal) who was widowed at a young age unfortunately. She comes out of her grievences and starts a new life when fate strikes again. She comes to know that her husband Rajesh is still alive after 5 years and is married to another woman 'Kadhambari' (Neebha). Naanal is a type of tall growing grass on the banks of rivers which twists, turns and bends in severe storm, but never breaks. As the title implies, she bends and bows when the storm strikes and survives the hardships without breaking down. Kadhambari takes all sorts of efforts to prevent the union of Rajesh and Radhika. Amidst all the turmoil, Radhika comes to know about Kadhambari's grandmother who was responsible for the ill fate of her family. Radhika's feminine strength, morality and virtues are the backbone of the story and it's the main reason for the top rating for this series.
